1.94 The Great Wall Border Troubles

There is no court today.

All officials perform their duties, not in the capital. Only the important officials are in the list. The accompanying officials will not mention the palace.

The Ji Kingdom is thousands of miles from east to west and six hundred miles from north to south. The capital is north. It is only ten miles away from Fangcheng County. The northern boundary of Fangcheng County is the northern boundary of Ji Kingdom. Although there is no war in the northern border, it is necessary to guard against it. In particular, high cars head south and gather scattered tribes on the grassland, becoming increasingly powerful. In addition, due to the prosperity of the Silk Road on the outer line of the Great Wall, horse thieves often appear in the north in recent years. Today's Han Dynasty is no longer as damaged as the former Han Dynasty. The Great Wall is mostly damaged and there are no large army guards. Horse thieves are familiar with the terrain, and they are impermanent and cannot be defended.

The merchants from other places in Yan used to choose Wuruan Pass to enter the country and entered Ji Kingdom in the east. Now, from Beidi County, they enter the pass early. Inside and outside the Great Wall, horse thieves are in trouble. Fortunately, there are Sheyan Xianbei vassal states who guard Shangjun. The inner and outer business roads are unobstructed. The only inconvenience is that you need to go around Luoyang and then go north to Ji Kingdom.

Before the expedition of Ji King, he had already ordered that merchants from far away could first move into Hanyuan Kebao. Take a boat from Yanggang and sail to Ji Country in batches. This saves time and effort.

Many merchants then chose Yanggang Shuangshi and sold their goods in the Western Regions. They traveled lightly and waited to arrive in Ji Kingdom, and then sold famous products in Luoyang, and then drove westward. Merchants on the northern Silk Road passed the Sheyan vassal state and still walked on the Yanwai Road. Merchants on the southern Silk Road took the Hexi Corridor in the inner line.

As a result, merchants gathered in Yanggang Shuangshi. King Ji prepared for the rain and built an exchange first, thus becoming the best place for commodity trading.

The imitation of the Maribo Temple, Ji Chamber of Commerce. The King of Ji started a new "Foreign Chamber of Commerce" in Yanggang Shuangshi. Anyone who joins the Hu merchants can enjoy many conveniences similar to Ji merchants. Such as buying and selling a mansion, opening an account, and so on. Then he can enter the exchange and deliver the payment by guaranteeing transfer.

Over time, the "new middle-class vendor" similar to the market in the exchange came into being. The new middle-class vendor is the middle-class vendor. The vassal merchants can sell the goods they carry with the middle-class vendor at the market price. The middle-class vendors then sell them to make a lot of profits.

The exchange has also formulated the "Central Traders' Agreement" in advance. Adding account funds guarantees can ensure the interests of both parties and be free from infringement.

This is not surprising.

However, what surprised King Ji was that a wealthy merchant in Ji Kingdom had made a reservation for the next year, and paid the full payment. The two parties agreed that the Hu merchant would sell in full on time and not overdue the time limit for natural disasters and man-made disasters.

This is the prototype of futures.

For Hu merchants, if they receive full payments one year in advance, they can return to Gaochang and arrange for production by wine merchants. This will balance supply and demand. "If you have a lot of money, you will get expensive, and if you have hunger, you will get cheap." Avoid more grains and low grains in a good year. There is a lot of supply and demand, and all parties to the sale are profitable.

However, along the Great Wall, horse thieves were rampant.

This is awesome.

When King Ji returned from his southern expedition, he worked tirelessly to deal with the troubles of the Great Wall.

I paid homage to my mother, the two adopted mothers, and Liu Bei held a court discussion.

"Along the Great Wall, it is the border between the Han Dynasty and the northern border. 'There is Ji in the north, so don't rush the reins'. The twelve high-car divisions dare not go south easily. The fourteen Xianbei vassal states dare not bring troops to the north, and even horse thieves take the lead." Wang Fu Huang Zhong said.

"And along the Great Wall, it runs across the east and west. It's thousands of miles away. Horses and thieves come and go like the wind, and they have no place to live. It's hard to pursue them." Left Prime Minister Cui Jun stood up and reported.

"I ordered the envoys of various 'Northern people' to enter the palace to meet." Liu Bei had already made up his mind.

"Now." The Secretary of the Central Committee ordered Zhao E to pass on the king's order.

The Northern People were the Northern Hu. The Ji Kingdom went to Han Hu and was only called Xianghua. The Northern Hu was also changed to Northern People. The naturalization was Ji people. The Northern People envoys were commonly known as "Northern Envoys". Corresponding to this, there were also "Southern Envoys" and "Southern Envoys". The Japanese were also renamed "Yingren".

After a while, the Wuhuan envoys from three counties, the Hu envoys from four counties, the Gaoche envoys from twelve surnames, the Xianbei envoys from the Southern Xiongnu envoys gathered in Linghui main hall.

"Secretaries, please pay homage to the king." The envoys bowed and ate their clothes and made every move, and their every move was no different from the Han people.

"Don't give me a seat." King Ji looked kind and happy.

On the day when King Ji returned from the southern expedition, he summoned all the envoys from the north into the hall. All the envoys were flattered.

"Where and outside the Great Wall, horse thieves are rampant. They often raid the caravans and block the market. I want to raise troops to destroy them. You think what?" King Ji was right out of the way.

"I am willing to work hard for the sake of the dog and horse." The North envoy spoke in unison.

"I feel so comforted by myself." After saying that, King Ji looked around his ministers: "You guys have good ideas."

The six major planners gather together, but there is no good strategy.

"It should be like the lord breaking the battle of One Piece." Xi Zhicai replied with a smile. The meaning of the words was also to lure him.

Liu Bei nodded gently: "Who is the general?"

"The main focus should be on the Mobei Protectorate." Jia Xu said: "(Mobei Protectorate) General soldiers, the chief of soldiers, Dou Bin, the son of the Luhui tribe, and the soldiers were engaged in the field of Tianchou of the "Five Sons and Sanming" as the right thing to do."

The disciple's priest Sima Hui stood up and reported: "Since he is the lord of conquest, the disciple should go with him."

It is also indispensable to the king's affairs under the sect of King Ji.

King Ji happily agreed and looked at the side seat: "Who is willing to go?"

"I am willing to go." Before the subordinate Zheng Tai and the subordinate chief clerk Sun Gan reported the matter, someone got up.

It was the Xi Cao official and Xu Shu.

The east is filial and the west is straight. Why bother to say too much?

Sima Hui smiled and said, "After Yuan Zhi left, everything will be worry-free."

Guo Jia's wisdom is chasing Jia Xu. Since Xu Shu has been known together with him, he has his own pearls.

Seeing the civil and military officials in the court, they nodded with laughter.

King Ji then asked with a smile: "What an urgent matter?"

Xu Shu replied loudly, "I also want to win two thousand and crowns. Please help the lord to fulfill it." Guo Jia's words blocking the road are well known to everyone in the country. Xu Shu is also unwilling to let him go.

How could King Ji not know about Xu Shu's heart: "If one battle can conquer peace, there will be no chaos in the border counties for ten years. When the troops return to the court, they should receive a salary of 2,000 stones with Fengxiao."

"My me, obey the order." Xu Shu returned to his throne again. How easy it is to fight to fight for peace in one battle. The key is that there is no chaos for ten years. The intention of King Ji is self-evident: to eliminate the roots and eliminate future troubles forever.

"The Secretary of the Central Committee wrote an edict, and ordered the commander of the Protectorate of Mobei to be the chief of the army, Dou Bin, to take charge of Tianchou, and to command Xu Shu, the commander of the Western Cao, to command various troops and fight against the chaos in the Great Wall. All the costs are taken by the Protectorate. Any gains are worth five or five."

"Now." The Secretary of the Central Committee ordered the palace to write an edict. The confirmation was correct, and King Ji then used the national seal to issue an edict to the world.

King Ji paid money, and each tribe worked hard. The war benefited, and the two were added to the five. The northern envoys couldn't help but be happy.

As the saying goes, "Holding grass and beating rabbits", practice your hands. It is also idle.

King Ji's move has its own profound meaning.

After this battle, the Mobei Protectorate was obeyed by the various ministries. The Mobei Alliance Army was formed and the waters came naturally. Just like the Lingnan Protectorate.

The northern envoy went down to court, and the light cavalry went out everywhere. He rushed to various tribes to convey the king's order.

The four directions of the Protectorate was under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.

The three ministers of the shogunate are good at strategizing and winning thousands of miles. Why bother King Ji to bother the gods?
